Chapter 22: Leona's Secret

In the dark night, countless blue lights converged into a galaxy and fell into the air.

The picture unfolds in dark green and navy blue, the heavens and the earth have been silent for hundreds of years, even the unknown birds and beasts have stopped chirping, the white smoke is swirling under their feet, and the black dragon formed by the rock yin bats has also stopped moving, and time seems to be pressed to pause.

Lan Che saw that in the mysterious statue of the flying goddess, a faint afterimage floated out, hovering leisurely in the air at an altitude of 100 meters.

Hughes broke free of his arm and stumbled forward a few steps, almost exhausting all his strength, with a heart-rending cry: "Thunder...... Leona!!"

The afterimage in the sky seemed to hear the call, and a crisp voice sounded in my head, like a rattle hanging under the eaves of childhood. The moving pupils dilated in the misty light... Enlarged, the face is so beautiful, the corners of the eyes, the bridge of the nose, the well-proportioned lips, the neck, the shoulders, and the slender figure are all the characteristics of a young womanβ€”is she Lumbini from ancient India, or the princess of Haishi from ancient Loulan, or the mysterious queen of Angkor Wat?

No, she's a mix of it all.

She looked down at the abrupt white bones on the ground, and the long-lost fireflies suddenly appeared mysteriously, flickering their light wings to guide her to land slowly.

The moving autumn eyes opened again after three thousand years, and a gentle smile appeared on the delicate little face: "Xius." ”

Lan Che looked at Xiu Sius blankly, his whole person stood in place like a thunderbolt, losing the protection of his lips, and the two rows of neat teeth were shocked or excited, trembling, and kept making creaking and fighting sounds, which was inexplicably a little more funny.

"Hehe, you're still so cute. Leona covered her mouth lightly and smiled.

Xiusi raised his arm, he wanted to hug her tightly, but he was afraid that the shadow of the thousand years of anticipation would be blown away by any slight movement, his anxious eyes were full of infatuation, and his voice trembled: "Thunder...... Leona, you've ......"

"Yes. Leona lowered her head slightly, adding a hint of guilt to her grievances: "I'm sorry, Theseus, what you saw was the afterimage of a thought that I sealed on the dagger before I died. ”

"Ah!?" Theseus was startled, his excited eyes were instantly filled with sadness, and he froze in place, like a deflated ball, and hung his head in frustration: "Leona, now can you tell me why you didn't want to leave here with me in the first place?"

"Theseus, I ......" Leona shook her head bitterly.

"Do you have to believe that you are the woman who betrayed love and abandoned her vows!" Theseus stretched his neck, trembling his jaw aggrieved and unwillingly, and he would accept such a result no matter what!

"No, Theseus. Leona looked at Theseus distressedly, and then looked around lightly: "Perhaps...... Now I can tell you everything. ”

Xius was shocked, although for countless dark nights, he had a premonition that Leona would not be the woman who abandoned him, but when Leona was about to tell him the truth, Xius was afraid. He was afraid that he would go crazy, why couldn't he understand her and help her in the first place.

He subconsciously took a step back and shook his head.

Leona looked at him understandingly: "Theseus, it's not your fault, it starts with the Demon Eye three thousand years ago." ”

"Demon Eyes?" said Theseus, surprised.

"Yes, I have been tasked by the Ghost King Thoris the Great - to destroy the Demon Eye. ”

"What!?" Theseus looked at her in shock.

Leona nodded, and continued: "At that time, I didn't do a specific investigation of the Demon Eye, and I don't know what it was, but I learned from the mouth of Emperor Sores that the Demon Eye was a relic of the ancient war, and was later found by the Hades King Horyas, who wantonly used the power brought by the Demon Eye to establish the Hades that was the sole party at that time.

And the king of the demon clan, Thoris the Great, is also secretly aware of the danger posed by the Demon Eye. It makes the user obsessed with the evil power in it, and gradually turns into a puppet that is manipulated, and finally because of frequent use, a small crack appears on the continent, although it is small, but the emperor also perceives the terrifying power hidden behind the crack!

They are ready to move, waiting for the rift to expand.

After careful consideration, on the one hand, in order to protect the land of the ghost clan from being involved, and on the other hand, in order to completely destroy the demon eye and eliminate the rift. Considering that the power of the underworld was strong at that time, and there would be heavy casualties in a head-on confrontation, I was sent to complete this task alone.

At that time, you were the only bloodline of the ghost clan, and the emperor knew that you loved me deeply, and I mastered the oldest sealing technique in the family, so I "betrayed" you.

Five years after your death, I finally found the Demon Eye in the underground secret room of the Gu Soul Palace, and with full of grief and pain, I rushed forward without hesitation!

However, I underestimated the power of the Demon Eye, and not only did it not destroy it, but I was almost devoured. Hades soon sensed me, and when he saw that I was bent on destroying the Demon's Eye, he ordered me to be hunted down.

For three days and three nights, I desperately fled, kept fighting, and soon, I fell behind, but when I was covered in bruises and my life hung by a thread, a demonic beast appeared!

Its power is more powerful than I have ever seen, and with its help, I sacrificed myself and sealed the soul of Horyas for three thousand years with a final spell, but the Demon Eye still could not be destroyed.

Seeing this, the divine beast used the cycle of life, and when the universe was reversed, the demon's eye was split into pieces, and it also changed back to its original form as if it had completed its mission, sleeping forever in this dark place.

Today's underworld, without the power of the Demon Eye, can only survive in the underground dynasty.

But three thousand years later, my seal is about to end, and the broken Demon Eye is also beginning to stir under the search of the minions of the underworld.

Theseus, you promise me that you must get rid of Horyas completely, and once the power of the Demon Eye matures, the terrifying demons will devour the entire continent.

The choice of Sores the Great is correct, and I have completed my mission, but you are my lifelong regret. Theseus, I am the person you love the most, he is your father, you must not be angry with us, but you must continue on this path. ”

Hughes stood in the wind, his white skull sliding down two lines of crystal.

"Leona, where is that monster?"

Leona shook her head in confusion: "After splitting the Demon Eye, it reincarnated itself, as for where it is now, I don't know." I put a spell on the banshee dagger, and the eyes of the Flying Goddess will be fixed on the deep pool forever until the smoke of the soul rises, and the spell will not be broken, but how did you come back to life?"

"Soul smoke?" Theseus recalled the smoke from the corner of his mouth, and glanced back at Lan Che meaningfully.

"Did he wake you up?"

Theseus nodded.

Leona looked at Lan Che curiously, and then turned back and said seriously: "Xius, you must be careful, because the rebirth of the spell is also accompanied by a curse. ”

"Cursed?" said Hughes, surprised.

"Well, yes, you can't leave him. Otherwise, you will fall into an endless slumber again, and if the Flying Goddess does not see you, you will be completely wiped out, and you will never be reincarnated. ”

"What?!" Theseus was visibly surprised by the curse, and he turned his head and held back his eyes with a faint disgust......

Lan Che picked at his head in confusion, you two are muttering, what are you doing looking back at me?!

Leona glanced at the black dragon in the sky, and then at the fading body, as if she felt that she was about to part.

She took a deep breath and slowly looked up.

Hughes only felt her shy face enlarge in front of him, her cheeks felt the tips of her hair gently brushing, itchy, faint fragrance wisps into her nose, the moonlight sprinkled warmly on her face through the starry sky, the soft touch on her lips made him close his eyes comfortably, like a sugar poached egg, with a good fragrance, and the eyelashes were so close to him.

The dragonfly touched it lightly and separated.

"Theseus, I followed you when I was sixteen years old, and until I was twenty-one, we were burdened with the same mission, but with different destinies.

Honey, you know what.

You are the boy I want to marry the most before I turn twenty-one,

It was also the time when I was twenty-one years old and I didn't talk about it.

For the sake of the ghost clan, for the sake of the world, go, take advantage of the fact that the partner is still there, the breeze is refreshing,

With a brave heart, never look back.

At last

Thank you, for the vow that has been guarded for thousands of years,

I love you, Theseus. ”

Seeing that the afterimage slowly floated up, and her beautiful eyes flashed with reluctant tears, Xius subconsciously stretched out his arm, wanting to jump up and grab her, but he could only look at her drifting farther and farther.

In the end, the afterimage stayed in mid-air, countless points of light condensed, the beautiful fairy turned into a bright sun, and the entire Demon Beast Mountain Range trembled.

All the bloody corpses looking in the corner raised their heads in unison, and the wyvern's gaze instantly became terrified.

Lao Wang looked at the sky a little distractedly, his face full of tiredness.

"No!!!Leona!!" With a hysterical roar of pain, Theus fell to his knees with a "plop" on the ground, his hands still held high, his eyes full of prayer.

Three thousand years, you must have been in pain.

Today, turn me upside down, go crazy with me,

In the next life, the flowers fall on the shoulders, and the life is Lang.

When Xius heard that his heart was broken, there was a loud bang in his ears, the countless blue lights in the air were ignited, the beautiful goddess took away the last trace of affection, the huge fluctuations rolled up a gust of wind, all the remnants of the stone walls collapsed, and a narrow door appeared in front of him!

"Quick, all in!" shouted the old king, pointing to the door.

Countless boulders fell from the top of the mountain, and a devastating rain of rocks fell from the sky, but Xius still knelt in place.

As if she was still ......

"Let's go!" Old Wang and Rednose rushed up, and rushed to the door with Xius!

"Zhu Si, Flying Duck, Lan Che, you also follow!" shouted Mazi Face.

Everyone rushed to the narrow and mysterious door, and the moment they opened the door, a dazzling white light rushed into their faces, like a snow-white blade piercing into the brain, the slurry and cells were all shattered, and the whole body was broken into countless pieces, the whole world was bright red, and they swayed around with their heads in their arms, as if their heads were really split.

Tiredness, pain, dizziness.

Finally...... It's time to sleep.

But the moment Lan Che rushed into the door, the soul in his body trembled slightly, and in the next second, he appeared at the foot of the pyramid!

The long-lost ethereal spirit sounded in my ears again: "Quick! Climb up!"
